Land of Rain
Bitter Rain Settlement Village
This place is no different from other villages in the Land of Rain.
Previously, this place was shrouded in drizzle most of the time, and the grain production was not even enough to feed the people, with most of it being taken by nobles of various ranks.
The land in Bitter Rain Settlement was like a muddy pond; the rice stalks that were planted there were so thin it was heartbreaking, and the ears of rice were so shriveled it was sad.
But now, Satō, in his fifties, stands on a high slope outside the village, looking at the scene before him.
Those dim, old eyes, accustomed to gloom and death, actually became a little moist.
That relentless, dreary rain that felt like it was making your bones rot had actually stopped!
This long-awaited sunshine is incredibly warm!
This is a miracle!
Even the legendary god who controls rain is nothing special!
Down the slope, the fields that were originally fragmented and full of puddles have been leveled into neat squares.
Several dark green steel machines are working noisily in the fields.
Those weren't puppets used by ninjas in battle, but rather Sunagakure —no, they're all part of the same village now.
This is the civilian agricultural mech that their new leader, the god-like Mukai the leader.
It is said to be the masterpiece of the genius puppeteer Scorpion, and the villagers affectionately call it " Iron Ox ".
A Iron Ox Mecha is currently using its rotating plow-like legs at the front to cut deeply into the once-hardened soil.
The turned-up soil was a healthy dark brown and exuded the fragrance of earth.
The originally muddy silt, mixed with the fine sand controlled by Shukaku, was stirred together by the Iron Ox Mecha.
"How's it going, Uncle Satō? Have you learned how to control it? Want to come up and give it a try?"
A spirited ninja explained to the stunned Satō:
"This Iron Ox Mecha can carry people; one trip there is equivalent to ten days of digging before!"
Mukai the adults, "This is called soil improvement!"
Satō shakily grabbed a handful of fresh soil, squeezed it hard, and found the soil loose yet elastic.
"Amazing... Absolutely amazing..."
Such fields can be used not only for rice cultivation, but also for some dryland crops!
The deep soil that was turned up is so fertile!
The ninja Body Flicker Technique appeared on the Iron Ox Mecha that had just finished plowing the field. He pressed a few buttons, and the Iron Ox's round plowshare wheels snapped open, transforming into eight spider-like legs.
"We're going to other fields, Uncle Satō. You can start planting now!"
If you feel you need irrigation, please contact us through the village office!
With its eight nimble spider legs, the Iron Ox Mecha traversed the rugged mountain path as if it were flat ground, carrying the ninja smoothly over the hillside.
Farming is just one of the most inconspicuous applications of the Iron Ox Mecha. It was originally a mass-produced heavy weapon platform modified from the Immortal Mecha!
Beside the village, the muddy ditch that used to overflow during the rainy season has now been widened and reinforced, becoming a straight irrigation canal.
The canal water was clear and flowed slowly. At the sluice gate, instead of a winch that required manual operation, there was a water pump driven by a supercapacitor that shimmered with a faint blue light.
A few days ago, a section of the canal was blocked by falling rocks from the mountain.
In the past, it would have taken all the able-bodied men in the village more than ten days to work.
Sometimes, before the river can be cleared, it overflows due to the blockage.
But this time, the villagers reported the situation to the village office's communication device.
Less than two hours later, the ninjas carrying mechs arrived at the scene. The mechs used breaker hammers to drill holes in the boulder and filled them with Explosive Tag.
With the explosion, huge rocks shattered, and the ninjas used their mechs to inspect the channel structure and remove large pieces of rock.
After confirming that everything was in order, the ninja took his leave as the rushing river flowed away.
Efficient and rapid, with no passing the buck.
This unprecedented order and responsiveness gave Satō a sense of security and reassurance.
Now even Satō dares to go to other villages or towns to make purchases.
Lord Mukai, leading a group of powerful flying ninjas (enhanced versions of Death God Mecha, jetpacks), wiped out the wandering ninjas and bandits across the entire territory like a sieve!
Lord Mi Mukai, who was as kind to the villagers as a friendly neighbor, showed no mercy to these bad people!
After a public trial, his crimes were listed and he was executed on the spot!
Those with minor offenses must work unpaid jobs for several years to atone for their sins!
In the Land of Rain, not only is there sunshine in the sky, but everyone's heart is also bathed in sunshine.
No more living in fear!
All the land in the village has been confiscated by the state.
At first, some people had concerns, but soon the model demonstrated its advantages.
Everyone still farms their own land and still needs to pay taxes.
But following the unified plan, Master Mukai used the " Iron Ox Mecha " and new ninja technology to help each village with their work!
In the past, who would have dared to imagine this kind of life?
They paid half the taxes, but the harvest from the fields tripled!
Gods above!
This is the second round of rice planted this year!
No, it should be Lord Mukai! It's because of Lord Mukai that their family has so much surplus grain!
It's so wonderful to be able to eat my fill!
The children's faces regained their rosy hue. It is said that the school is under construction and soon Mukai adults will build schools around several villages.
Not only is school free, but lunch is also provided!
Anyone can become a powerful ninja if they study diligently!
This is something I wouldn't even dare to dream of!
The figure flying over from afar... could it be Lord Mukai and Konan?
"The rice here is growing very well, and the harvest season will be here soon. Konan, let's clear the rain clouds one last time so it doesn't rain during the harvest."
Konan nodded. She looked down at the golden waves of rice and the villagers with rosy cheeks walking in the fields. This was a scene she never dared to imagine when she was a child.
She had witnessed all of Mukai's hard work over the past six months.
Regardless of how the Shinobi World outside is in turmoil, the Land of Rain Land of Wind have now become a rare paradise in the Shinobi World.
They truly used Ninjutsu and mecha technology to change this weeping nation!
"Lord Mukai! Lord Konan!"
"It's the god-like Lord Mukai, and Konan beside him must be a messenger of the gods, right?"
I saw with my own eyes Konan explode into a rain cloud!
Seeing the villagers' enthusiasm, Mukai felt it was inappropriate to stay in the sky any longer, so he took Konan and landed on the ground.
He spoke kindly with the villagers, asking them some questions, and it took him a while to get the enthusiastic villagers to disperse.
He asked casually:
"By the way, what's the name of this village?"
It is unclear who shouted:
"Lord Mukai, the village used to Bitter Rain Settlement, but that name is no longer suitable. Could we change it to Sweet Spring Village?"
" Sweet Spring? What a great name! Of course!"
"Long live Lord Mukai!"
Even after they had walked far away, the group continued to turn back and Mukai their direction.
Just then, the Komushi intelligent entity in the sea of consciousness suddenly said:
" Mukai, Konoha has sent a request for assistance. The Konoha ninja army is being suppressed by Ōnoki and hopes we can provide aid."
"Assistance?"
Mukai grinned:
"Aid is certainly possible, but what are the conditions?"
"Does Hiruzen Sarutobi think he can get me to send troops just by talking White Fang?"
